Local fans of the reality show “Survivor” might recognize Central Michigan University gradaute and former Miss Michigan USA 2013 Jaclyn Schultz as a contestant on the 29th season of the reality competition, “Survivor: San Juan Del Sur — Blood vs. Water.”

Her boyfriend John Misch, a former football player at Michigan State University, will appear with her on the show, which pits a group of contestants isolated in the wilderness against each other to compete for a $1 million prize.

The couple are two of nine competing on the CBS show, which debuts at 8 p.m. Sept. 24.

Schultz graduated from Roosevelt High School in 2006. She then graduated from CMU and went on to earn a master’s degree from MSU.

She currently lives in Las Vegas, where she works as a media buyer at SK+G Public Relations.

She is the daughter of Wyandotte City Councilman Donald Schultz.

During her time on the pageant circuit, Jaclyn Schultz made Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome her cause.

The congential condition causes a woman’s utereus to be underdeveloped or absent and affects one in 4,500 women, including Schultz herself.

She has served as spokeswoman for the Beautiful You MRKH Foundation as she works to spread awareness and to provide support to girls and women struggling with acceptance of the diagnosis.

If they win the money on “Survivor,” the couple said they plan to use it to adopt a child or hire a surrogate.
